Since the Great Financial Crisis swept across the world in 2008, there have been few certainties regarding the trajectory of global capitalism, let alone the politics taking hold in individual states. This has now given way to palpable confusion regarding what sense to make of this world in a political conjuncture marked by Donald Trump s Make America Great Again presidency of the United States, on the one hand, and, on the other, Xi Jinping s ambitious agenda in consolidating his position as core leader at the top of the Chinese state.
